how do you get a table like:
letters = {"a", "b", "c"}
to
"abc"
letters = {"a", "b", "c"}
to
"abc"

local output = ""
local mytable = {"a", "b", "c"}
for i = 1, #mytable do output = output .. mytable[i] end
print(output)
You want me to explain?

Nicer way:
Only works with tables with numeric indices though.
str = table.concat(letters)

usage is table.concat("string","spacer")
spacer can be anything separating the table elements (including nil or "")

I know what table.concat is, I just have no experience with it yet. That's why I haven't mentioned it…-snip-
(I know that that post was mainly an answer for ETHANATOR - or at least I hope so…)
